Therefore Dragster wouldn't be a coaster. Somethings wrong about that.

Whats the precise definition of rollercoaster?
We could even argue about this one. Because I Think its a bit too unspecific.
But that discussion is a neverending story and its only relevant for counting and not for having fun on a ride.

Dragster is a coaster...it doesn't have an engine, or a chain, when it goes up the "tower" does it ?

Guess that means Disk-o, Lucy's Tug boat, and Schwartzkopf Pirate are coasters too.

The definition of a coaster is anything that runs on rails and is in part powerd by gravity!

You can only define a coaster to a certain extent, but most everyone knows one when they see one.

Hi there again.
Today the group went to movieworld germany and toverland in the Netherlands.
I live close to Toverland so thats where i meet them again.
They arived in this small park in the afternoon and where pretty suprised about the park. They will tell you all about it.
I made some pictures and some small vids with my photocamera in this few hours.
Some of the group went on the Survival track wich was a real challange for them.
Most people would laugh but its a big thing to walk it to the end.
In place of put my pictures online a made a small vid (WMV) with some pictures etc.
If there is someone who can help me out with my traffic please put the vid online then.
Till my traffic can handle it a leave the vid online.
Its in winrarr format so you must download it (40 Mb)
Enjoy

I believe the Phantasiahotel, where they're staying now, has WiFi connection available. I believe last few days there wasn't a WiFi connection available (Correct me if I'm wrong, I thought I heard something like this today...)

That's right. They posted an update on Thursday, yesterday they were in a hotel that didn't have a WiFi connection so they couldn't post an update and it seems hotel Phantasia doesn't have a WiFi connection either, or it's too expensive.

EDIT: @ Turbolaaf: Thanks for the video.

I had a great day. Seeing Elissa and Joey on the Survival course was hilarious. :lol:
